Compressive strength of concrete containing wollastonite decreased at each w / b ratio (Misra et al., 2009). However, Yog (2010) found that the compressive and flexural strengths increase up to 15% replacement of cement by wollastonite in comparison to the control mix. The optimum content of wollastonite and silica fume improved …
